Daniel Josef Paletz

I retained Daniel Paletz for my child custody case. He was very polished during my interview of him and definitely knew what to say and how to say it so that I would retain his firm. He told me it would cost $6,000 from retaining him until getting through to our PPA set just two months later. Unbekno...wnst to me, my ex had significant communications with Mr. Paletz just a few months prior. This created a clear conflict. Based on my communications with Mr. Paletz he told me he would refund my retainer but wanted to know if he should write a letter to the other side to see if he could continue to represent me. I knew that my ex would never agree. Mr. Paletz wrote a three page letter to the other side with wild accusations and a set of facts that were clearly not true based on Mr. Paletz’s own emails and texts. This prompted my ex to file a motion to recuse Mr. Paletz and sanctions against me. I found a new attorney and asked for my refund. I received $800. Literally no other action was taken on the case besides the 3 page letter (which should not have been billed and was) and a continuance of a hearing that was set in August. When I asked for my full refund as promised I was met with vitriol from Mr. Paletz who told me that he would sue me for defamation if I took any other action. Why threaten a client like that? Its terrible. I intend to take this matter to the State Bar. All he had to do was refund my money like he promised.

I have been going through a very difficult divorce after 29-years of marriage and six children. My first attorney was not performing at an acceptable standard. I interviewed nearly ten attorneys and was referred to Daniel Paletz of Kermisch & Paletz. After meeting Daniel, I was pleasantly impressed b...y his vast education, intellect, tenacity, and confidence, I was instantly convinced he was the best choice to represent me. Daniel has accomplished more in the brief time we have worked together than my previous attorney in nearly a year. I wasn’t looking for the least expensive attorney because I had a lot at stake, nor was I able or willing to pay the exorbitant fees that other attorneys were quoting. Daniel, Sarah and their team have compassionately treated me like a friend and taken pride in getting me the best result, all for a very reasonable fee. If I could give 10-stars, I would. I feel so much gratitude for Daniel and Sarah that I will never be able to reciprocate to them for helping me and making this process far less stressful. I am happy to take calls from anyone interested in knowing why Daniel, Sarah and their team are your very best choice for an experienced, successful divorce law firm. The firm will provide you with my cell number.

December 1, 2016 will go down in my personal history as my day of freedom and redemption. I was involved in a legal challenge for over 15 years with many different attorneys being unsuccessful at making it end, costing me thousands of dollars. The first time my opponent experienced Mr. Paletz in act...ion the case was settled. The entire office's professionalism, care, concern, and humanity brought Faith back to me in the legal system. I cannot thank this legal team enough for the kindness, compassion, and expertise they brought to me and my family. I have immense gratitude, and for the first time since my divorce, I had a year free of legal burden that has haunted me for years. My life has begun anew. Do not go any further if you are seeking an attorney to represent you. He is the best of the best.

If you are looking for a family law attorney, look no further - Kermisch & Paletz is the right choice, for whatever your family law needs are! I have used Daniel Paletz and his associate, Lauren Lookofsky, throughout my very contentious divorce and both of them have been absolutely amazing!!! Not... only are they extremely knowledgeable in family law and know their stuff as well as being dependable, reliable and always get back to me promptly when I need legal advice on a matter or need them to handle a matter, they are also personable and easy to talk to and explain everything which was very important to me. What has also been great in working with them is that pretty much everything could be done electronically which has been great and very time saving so that I don't need to drive to their office for all the paperwork, etc. Most importantly, Daniel and Lauren have been able to negotiate with my ex (who I am certain has been their most difficult opposing party ever), but when negotiation was not possible, they kicked my ex's butt in court! Daniel represented me throughout my trial. He is an amazing and impressive litigator who remembers all the facts of the case and cites all the case laws from memory. He is a very aggressive advocate, which is what I needed in dealing with my ex who has been very difficult and harassing. I can't tell you how many times other parties came up to Daniel as we left the court room, told him what an amazing job he did and asked for his business card. I am very grateful to Daniel and Lauren for the successful outcomes they have achieved for me throughout my divorce process and thereafter. I am certain I would not be where I am today without them. I highly recommend Kermisch & Paletz for any of your family law needs. You won't be disappointed!

Daniel Paletz was my lawyer in a very contentious divorce for two and a half years. He is intelligent, has extensive experience with family law and he can relate to young children advising what would be best for the family. He was fair, kind and caring with me during the process. My ex was obstrepero...us and continuously tried to harass me with endless and frivolous ex partes in court. I trusted Daniel completely throughout this difficult journey and he guided me when I was disheartened and unsure. After a long and arduous journey, I received a successful outcome and I am grateful for Daniel's unwavering expertise and knowledge of the courts, the law and the process.
